A curious rumour is noted by Dr. Dillon in Friday's

Daily Telegraph. He states that the Vienna Government, recogniz- ing the difficulties of a campaign in Montenegro, will, if it takes military action, operate not there but through Albania, and that Italy will co-operate in such action. No doubt at first sight this seems a way out of the difficulty, but we are bound to say that, considering popular feeling in Italy as regards Austria-Hungary, and Italian jealousy and sensitiveness about anything that touches Albania, a joint occupation of Albania, if prolonged, might lead to grave complications. However, it is hardly worth while to push these speculations further when the renewed meeting of the Ambassadors is so near. In all probability something definite will be decided on Monday.
